Installed the distributor 180° off.

Nice ride I bought a 1976 SS Nova 350 auto new sticker price was $4,300.00.
Only issue they Cat Converter plugged up, homemade test pipe fixed that, wish I had kept it.

Is that a 75 or 76? I had a 74 Nova SS and my wife had a 70 Camero RS. Wish we had both now. Nova had 35,000 miles on it and was 4 yrs old, paid $1800 for it. lol

Whoa, man, that's great!!

Why won't it run? That's the burning question!

Sure looks better than the average Nova I see around here...oh, wait...we never see those anymore except resto's.

I'd drive the crap outta that!

The hot wire to the HEI was taped together and fell off. The choke was stuck shut. The distributor had no hold down and was moving freely.

I got it sorted pretty fast. It barked off and ran fine after I tracked down the issues. The engine sounds fine. It will be going in the 1988 Blazer.


The poor guy that had it paid for this engine. I feel sorry for him.

70 rs Camaro split bumper. My favorite.

I had a 72 straight bumper in the 1990s. It had a late 60s Corvette 350 in it. I didn't have any money, and my first wife wasn't into doing much of anything at all. That was a great car.

But that's the past. This is the now.
